A have a lot of ca. 150 classical records surplus and a few nice box sets. Can't give them away. Been trying to sell them for months. I don't see classical records anymore, neither in the thrift/flea circuit nor in the regular used vinyl shops. There's no demand and no supply.

Well, if he wants to sell the whole collection, he's making a very big mistake. The first collector who gets there and knows anything will take the 10-15 valuable ones for $30 or less, which would fetch around $200-$300 on ebay. The rest will be worthless as collectables, and alas, there aren't too many people like me buying up $1 classical records.
A dealer would probably give him $200 to take the whole thing away if he has a choice collection kept in excellent condition. Once someone has cherry-picked the valuable ones, the dealer won't take it.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
quote by Kurt Vonnegut
From the ad -
1$=1
2$=10
3$=20
assuming $3 for 20 then $150 (50*3) for the set of a thousand
but following the pattern
$4=40
$5=80
$6=160
$7=320
$8=640
$9=1280
So for about $10 one gets them all! Splitting the difference I'm betting he'll let the whole collection go for ($10+$150)/2 = $80 (or less to a good home if someone else hauls).
And even if the buyer generates $2000 in resale from the set I'd be willing to wager in the long run he'll make about $2 an hour for his effort.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
Either buy them for your own use, or pass....
Though I like your mathematics! If he wants to quickly and easily divest himself of all of those classical LPs, he should require that they all be sold in one lot. If there are some valuable ones there, as there should be for a good 1000 LP collection in excellent condition that has never been cherry picked, someone would most likely buy them all.
Otherwise, he could easily be left with 800 LPs that he'll have to dispose of himself, and probably about the same money, or less. People just don't want classical LPs. I've been to sales like this.
Allowing that collection to be cherry-picked would be a massive mistake, and render what remained nearly worthless. I would contend, however, that to someone who would actually listen to the collection, it has good value. Buyers will still be a rare breed, however.
